Welcome to Windows 7 Forums. Our forum is dedicated to helping you find support and solutions for any problems regarding your Windows 7 PC be it Dell, HP, Acer, Asus or a custom build. We also provide an extensive Windows 7 tutorial section that covers a wide range of tips and tricks.

It is not a good idea to tie two network switches in series (i.e. one switch plugged into another switch). That said, you will probably never notice a slow down in the data on that path. Your traffic to and from the Internet is probably not that fast to begin with.

For a small business network, it is best to have only one switch. That one switch should have enough ports to connect everything to it at once. Your N300 has a 4 port switch. You plan on connecting 4 computers. That will max out the N300 for now. You can add the main printer to the "server" computer and share it from there. Or you can add the main printer using Wi-Fi if the printer supports that. Your Wi-Fi connectivity should be pretty solid if the N300 is sitting a few feet from the main printer.
